Painting with your watch? The future is here.

The Apple Watch is stretching the possibilities of entertainment to its near-limits. With the diversity of apps being developed and the amazing possibilities on offer, you'll start to realise how much your wrist has been a wasted, entertainment-less void up until this point. The Apple Watch itself is quite exciting and is bound to provide entertainment in itself, but why stop there? Take a look at these entertainment apps that you can download to your new watch.

Let your Apple Watch entertain you

Let your creative juices flow. You know what it's like — you get on the bus and you realise you've forgotten to pack your notebook, or canvas, whatever your creative endeavour might be. But never fear, you're wearing your Apple Watch, and this is where apps like Procreat Pocket fill in the void. Your Apple Watch becomes your paintbrush, your iPhone your canvas. Choose brushes, effects or an eraser and undo, redo and change colours using your watch and create your masterpiece on your phone. Save your painting and complete your design on your iPad.

Fuel your entertainment habits. In this day and age, entertainment is as much about convenience as it is about being entertained. Fandango is about providing that convenience. The iPhone version lets you buy movie tickets, watch trailers, get reminders for movies, and the like. You can find these features on their Apple Watch app – making going to the movies as easy as checking the time. While you won't be able to buy tickets with the app, you can have a scannable ticket on your phone, see reminders for movies — even set countdowns — and find theater information.

Never be bored with bite-sized content. Other apps related to media such as news and magazines are also available. You can also find education-related games to keep your brain active while your keeping yourself amused.

Our pick – how to be best entertained

Fandango

For movie lovers, it really doesn't get much better (or more convenient) than this. Indulge in your cinema-hopping habits and keep track of it using your watch. Oh, the irony of being able to check the time a movie starts on a device that was originally designed to purely tell the time. Not only that but you can make your movie trip into more of an experience with a countdown and even reminders. Then, after you purchase your ticket using the app on another device, simply turn up and show them your Apple Watch where your ticket will be stored.

As smartwatches become more common, the possibilities of being entertained by them will too, develop. Discover for yourself where the future of technology is headed.

Important information about this website

finder.com.au is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We compare from a wide set of major banks, insurers and product issuers.

finder.com.au has access to track details from the product issuers listed on our sites. Although we provide information on the products offered by a wide range of issuers, we don't cover every available product. You should consider whether the products featured on our site are appropriate for your needs and seek independent advice if you have any questions.

The identification of a group of products, as 'Top' or 'Best' is a reflection of user preferences based on current website data. On a regular basis, analytics drive the creation of a list of popular products. Where these products are grouped, they appear in no particular order.

Where our site links to particular products or displays 'Go to site' buttons, we may receive a commission, referral fee or payment.

We try to take an open and transparent approach and provide a broad based comparison service. However, you should be aware that while we are an independently owned service, our comparison service does not include all providers or all products available in the market.

Some product issuers may provide products or offer services through multiple brands, associated companies or different labelling arrangements. This can make it difficult for consumers to compare alternatives or identify the companies behind the products. However, we aim to provide information to enable consumers to understand these issues.

Providing or obtaining an estimated insurance quote through us does not guarantee you can get the insurance. Acceptance by insurance companies is based on things like occupation, health and lifestyle. By providing you with the ability to apply for a credit card or loan we are not guaranteeing that your application will be approved. Your application for credit products is subject to the Provider's terms and conditions as well as their application and lending criteria.
